Softball photo collage, made from your own photos
Eye black on game day. Sunflower seeds in the dugout. The first hit, the diving catch, the long drives to tournaments with the whole family in the car. A softball photo collage is cut to a player tossing the ball in her hand, glove on, ready to play, and filled with every inning she ever played.

How many photos fit
Every figure comes from the layout engine rather than a rule of thumb. The suggested count is where each photo prints about two inches across, big enough to make out a face from across the room. The minimum is 9 photos, below which the outline starts to break up. The player is a tall figure, so a portrait print suits her best, and the button opens a 20 × 30″ print.
| Print size | Photos | Suggested |
|---|---|---|
| 12 × 12″ | 9–60 | 9 |
| 12 × 18″ | 9–100 | 15 |
| 16 × 20″ | 9–140 | 15 |
| 16 × 24″ | 9–170 | 25 |
| 20 × 20″ | 9–180 | 15 |
| 20 × 30″ | 9–275 | 40 |
| 24 × 24″ | 9–250 | 25 |
| 24 × 36″ | 9–375 | 55 |
| 30 × 40″ | 9–525 | 70 |
| 36 × 54″ | 9–875 | 130 |
| 40 × 60″ | 9–1075 | 160 |
Questions
Is the ball made of photos too?
No, and that’s on purpose. The softball is a real photo of a ball, laid over the outline so it stands out against all your pictures. Everything else in the shape is your photos.
Does it work for a pitcher, a catcher or an outfielder?
Yes. The outline is a player tossing the ball, not a pitch or a swing, so it suits every position. Your photos show where she played and how she played it.
Can I use it for Senior Night?
Yes. Fill it with every season, from t-ball to her last home game, and add her name and number underneath. Our Senior Night page has more ideas for the night.
